Rwanda's healthcare system is one of the most advanced in Africa. Almost everyone in the small African state has access to medical care thanks to a network of almost 50 district hospitals and some 200 health centers. And a general health insurance scheme means that most people can afford it, too. But some of the care provided is only possible together with international partners.

Ben Franklin famously said, at the end of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, that "if we don't hang together, we shall surely hang separately." That lesson of "we're all in it together" wasn't lost on Rwanda. Rwanda - a small nation in central Africa - is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped nations in the world. Nearly 60 percent of Rwandans live below the national poverty line - and in Rwanda, with an average income of just $560 per year per family - less than $2 a day - being in poverty meant bringing home and living on as little as ten cents a day. From 1990 to 1994 - the nation had a civil war - and in April of 1994 - the Rwandan Genocide began - lasting for 3 months - and taking the lives of nearly 1 million Rwandans. And yet - despite going through a civil war and a genocide - and being one of the poorest countries in the world - the tiny nation of Rwanda has something the United States doesn't - a healthcare system that works for all.
Today - the new talking point coming from the Right against Obamacare is that it raises taxes. Yet, that's exactly how Rwanda went about creating a healthcare system that works for everybody. Today - only 4% of the Rwandan population is uninsured - compared to more than 16% in the United States. So how'd Rwanda do it? In 1999 - most Rwandans never had seen a doctor and even when they were really sick, couldn't get into a hospital - primarily because costs were so high that average citizens simply couldn't afford it. Knowing they had to take action - the government's Ministry of Health started a pilot project of providing health insurance in three of the country's districts. With success in these districts - the program began to spread across the country in 2004. It ran into some kinks, though. The main one was that the government set insurance premiums at $2 dollars per year - and that was too much for for most Rwandans to afford.
So - then - the program shifted to a progressive tax system. For wealthy Rwandans - insurance premiums increased to 8 dollars a year - while premiums for the poor decreased - to zero. This is similar to what's in Obamacare - with poor and low-income Americans getting free Medicaid or tax subsidies to purchase health insurance at no expense. Today - the results of Rwanda's universal health care system are remarkable. Now - there is a massive network of community health workers across the country - in both cities and villages. 80 percent of AIDS patients in Rwanda are getting the treatments they need - which is really critical in a nation with one of the highest AIDS infection rates in all of Africa. Just ten years ago - before the insurance program was put in place - life expectancy was a meager 48 years at birth. Now - its 58. And - in the last 5 years - deaths of children under 5 have dropped by half - and malaria - a once debilitating and highly deadly disease in Rwanda - is now diagnosed quicker, which means life-saving treatment is provided faster.

New innovative interventions and evidence towards malaria
elimination in Rwanda:
Experience from MEPR project in Ruhuha sector in Bugesera
(2011-2016)
Year submission was created 2016
Abstract Summary:
200 word description of the media content. The purpose
for which it was produced (research, advocacy, education)
and how it will contribute to enhancing evidence and skills
building in health systems research.
This documentary talks about MalariaEliminationProgramme
in Ruhuha/Eastern Province of Rwanda.
In 2011, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research/
WOTRO Science for Global Development provided competitive
research funds for four years research project titled Malaria
Elimination Program for Ruhuha (MEPR). The main objective
of this project was to strengthen human capacity development
within health sector.
The programme aimed at demonstrating the multifactorial
conditions of malaria in a community, that community
participation helps health systems towards malaria elimination
and demonstrate that communities can develop sustainable
health interventions in a self-learning environment.
The programme consisted of four interrelated PhD projects,
referred to as the ‘four pillars’ addressing issues related to
behavioral sciences, biomedical sciences, entomology and
health economics.
The targeted site of this project was Ruhuha sector located at
about 42 km from Kigali, the Capital of Rwanda. It covers an
area of about 56 square kilometers with a population
estimated to be 19,606 people. The sector is divided into 5
cells and 35 villages with 5,661 households. It is drained by
four main wetlands transformed into irrigated rice fields, while
seasonal crops occupy the fifth wetland. Malaria was
previously reported as high endemic and a serious problem.
Due to the government interventions through the distribution
of Long Lasting Insecticide treated nets (LLINs) with
achievement of universal coverage (one LLINs for two
persons) and Indoor Residual Spraying with more than 97,5
% coverage for each Indoor Residual Spray (IRS) round, as
well as malaria case management, the burden of malaria was
declined drastically.
Despite use of these effective interventions the prevalence of
malaria has not reached the phase of pre-elimination as
stipulated in the National Malaria Control strategic Plan (2013-
2018).
Among potential innovative actions taken for a detailed
diagnosis of the problem and the appropriate solutions
included the usage of a bottom up approach instead of the
vertical approach deployed through an Open Space method as
well as the creation of “Community Malaria ActionTeams
(CMATs) in the framework of BehaviorChange and
Communication; vector control interventions from the design,
the planning and implementation of activities as well as the
introduction of microbial larvicide named “Bacillus
thuringiensis var. israelensis” (Bti) for larval source
management. Other innovative interventions included tackling
foci of malaria infection, evaluating and establishing
immunological aspects of chronic parasitemia.
This bottom-up approach was found useful in engaging the local community, enabling them to explore issues related to malaria in the area and suggest innovative solutions for sustainable malaria elimination gains.

Health

Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental or social challenges. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete" Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction. Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health. Health is that balanced condition of the living organism in which the integral, harmonious performance of the vital functions tends to the preservation of the organism and the normal development of the individual.

Access to health care varies across countries, groups, and individuals, largely influenced by social and economic conditions as well as the health policies in place. Countries and jurisdictions have different policies and plans in relation to the personal and population-based health care goals within their societies. Health care systems are organizations established to meet the health needs of target populations. Their exact configuration varies between national and subnational entities. In some countries and jurisdictions, health care planning is distributed among market participants, whereas in others, planning occurs more centrally among governments or other coordinating bodies. In all cases, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a well-functioning health care system requires a robust financing mechanism; a well-trained and adequately-paid workforce; reliable information on which to base decisions and policies; and well maintained health facilities and logistics to deliver quality medicines and technologies.

Partners In Health

The goals of the organization are "to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair." PIH has innovated alternative methods to the conventional curative method of treatment for the sick and preventing diseases before they occur. This model believes that primary health care is essential because health is a right and therefore, it should be available to everyone. PIH strives to bring good medical care to the poor by establishing long-term partnerships with local sister organizations.

History

The idea for Partners In Health first began when Paul Farmer and Ophelia Dahl helped set up a community-based health project in Cange, Haiti known as Zanmi Lasante ("Partners in Health"). For a number of years the organization focused its efforts almost exclusively on treating people with HIV/AIDS in rural Haiti. In the past decade, the organization's mission has expanded to include a more holistic approach to tackling disease and poverty. PIH devotes considerable resources to providing food, water, education and housing to sick patients. The organization also advocates for human rights both at the governmental and international NGO level.

http://www.democracynow.org - Dr. PaulFarmer, an infectious diseases expert and a medical anthropologist, is known worldwide for helping to bring quality healthcare to some of the most impoverished areas of the globe. More than 25 years ago, Farmer helped found the charity Partners in Health to provide free medical care in central Haiti. Today, Partners in Health teams up with local groups to treat people with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other conditions in Haiti and countries around the world. The South African Nobel Peace Laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, calls him: "One of the great advocates for the poorest and sickest of our planet."
Watch Part 1 of this interview: http://youtu.be/gcTtKvKC-5E
Farmer's previous book, "Haiti After the Earthquake," describes the massive suffering and ongoing recovery effort after the devastating January 2010 earthquake that killed hundreds of thousands of people. His latest, "To Repair the World: Paul Farmer Speaks to the Next Generation," collects a series of commencement addresses that Farmer has delivered to graduating college students going back more than a decade. Throughout, Farmer urges them to confront global problems through an approach that has long guided his work: a tireless commitment to social justice and solidarity with the world's poor. Farmer joins us to discuss why he thinks a community-based health approach can help fix the U.S. healthcare system, how Rwanda's model has drastically improved the lives of its citizens, and how to tackle the massive health problems in post-earthquake Haiti.

Rwanda's Story: Universal healthcare proves big success

The 2015State of the World’s ChildrenReport ranks Rwanda as the best performing coun-try in East Africa in reducing the child mortality rate. The report indicates that Rwanda has 52 deaths per 1000 births. Rwanda’s most impressive gains, however, have been in health. AIDS has been cutting life expectancies in Africa and is widespread in Rwanda. Yet life ex-pectancy at birth in Rwanda has increased from 48 to 58 — in the last 10 years. Sheila Nduhukire reports that one of Rwanda’s success stories has been the Universal Health Care for all its countrymen.

Rwanda's healthcare system is one of the most advanced in Africa. Almost everyone in the small African state has access to medical care thanks to a network of almost 50 district hospitals and some 200 health centers. And a general health insurance scheme means that most people can afford it, too. But some of the care provided is only possible together with international partners.

The public health transformation in Rwanda is striking for those with memories of the massacre of nearly one million people 20 years ago. International aid groups were initially wary about getting involved, but Rwanda took ownership of its own development and built a new health care system. Special correspondentFred de Sam Lazaro explores how they've worked to overcome a shortage of doctors.

The public health transformation in Rwanda is striking for those with memories of the massacre of nearly one million people 20 years ago. International aid groups were initially wary about getting involved, but Rwanda took ownership of its own development and built a new health care system. Special correspondentFred de Sam Lazaro explores how they've worked to overcome a shortage of doctors.

Ben Franklin famously said, at the end of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, that "if we don't hang together, we shall surely hang separately." That lesson of "we're all in it together" wasn't lost on Rwanda. Rwanda - a small nation in central Africa - is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped nations in the world. Nearly 60 percent of Rwandans live below the national poverty line - and in Rwanda, with an average income of just $560 per year per family - less than $2 a day - being in poverty meant bringing home and living on as little as ten cents a day. From 1990 to 1994 - the nation had a civil war - and in April of 1994 - the Rwandan Genocide began - lasting for 3 months - and taking the lives of nearly 1 million Rwandans. And yet - despite going through a civil war and a genocide - and being one of the poorest countries in the world - the tiny nation of Rwanda has something the United States doesn't - a healthcare system that works for all.
Today - the new talking point coming from the Right against Obamacare is that it raises taxes. Yet, that's exactly how Rwanda went about creating a healthcare system that works for everybody. Today - only 4% of the Rwandan population is uninsured - compared to more than 16% in the United States. So how'd Rwanda do it? In 1999 - most Rwandans never had seen a doctor and even when they were really sick, couldn't get into a hospital - primarily because costs were so high that average citizens simply couldn't afford it. Knowing they had to take action - the government's Ministry of Health started a pilot project of providing health insurance in three of the country's districts. With success in these districts - the program began to spread across the country in 2004. It ran into some kinks, though. The main one was that the government set insurance premiums at $2 dollars per year - and that was too much for for most Rwandans to afford.
So - then - the program shifted to a progressive tax system. For wealthy Rwandans - insurance premiums increased to 8 dollars a year - while premiums for the poor decreased - to zero. This is similar to what's in Obamacare - with poor and low-income Americans getting free Medicaid or tax subsidies to purchase health insurance at no expense. Today - the results of Rwanda's universal health care system are remarkable. Now - there is a massive network of community health workers across the country - in both cities and villages. 80 percent of AIDS patients in Rwanda are getting the treatments they need - which is really critical in a nation with one of the highest AIDS infection rates in all of Africa. Just ten years ago - before the insurance program was put in place - life expectancy was a meager 48 years at birth. Now - its 58. And - in the last 5 years - deaths of children under 5 have dropped by half - and malaria - a once debilitating and highly deadly disease in Rwanda - is now diagnosed quicker, which means life-saving treatment is provided faster.

New innovative interventions and evidence towards malaria
elimination in Rwanda:
Experience from MEPR project in Ruhuha sector in Bugesera
(2011-2016)
Year submission was created 2016
Abstract Summary:
200 word description of the media content. The purpose
for which it was produced (research, advocacy, education)
and how it will contribute to enhancing evidence and skills
building in health systems research.
This documentary talks about MalariaEliminationProgramme
in Ruhuha/Eastern Province of Rwanda.
In 2011, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research/
WOTRO Science for Global Development provided competitive
research funds for four years research project titled Malaria
Elimination Program for Ruhuha (MEPR). The main objective
of this project was to strengthen human capacity development
within health sector.
The programme aimed at demonstrating the multifactorial
conditions of malaria in a community, that community
participation helps health systems towards malaria elimination
and demonstrate that communities can develop sustainable
health interventions in a self-learning environment.
The programme consisted of four interrelated PhD projects,
referred to as the ‘four pillars’ addressing issues related to
behavioral sciences, biomedical sciences, entomology and
health economics.
The targeted site of this project was Ruhuha sector located at
about 42 km from Kigali, the Capital of Rwanda. It covers an
area of about 56 square kilometers with a population
estimated to be 19,606 people. The sector is divided into 5
cells and 35 villages with 5,661 households. It is drained by
four main wetlands transformed into irrigated rice fields, while
seasonal crops occupy the fifth wetland. Malaria was
previously reported as high endemic and a serious problem.
Due to the government interventions through the distribution
of Long Lasting Insecticide treated nets (LLINs) with
achievement of universal coverage (one LLINs for two
persons) and Indoor Residual Spraying with more than 97,5
% coverage for each Indoor Residual Spray (IRS) round, as
well as malaria case management, the burden of malaria was
declined drastically.
Despite use of these effective interventions the prevalence of
malaria has not reached the phase of pre-elimination as
stipulated in the National Malaria Control strategic Plan (2013-
2018).
Among potential innovative actions taken for a detailed
diagnosis of the problem and the appropriate solutions
included the usage of a bottom up approach instead of the
vertical approach deployed through an Open Space method as
well as the creation of “Community Malaria ActionTeams
(CMATs) in the framework of BehaviorChange and
Communication; vector control interventions from the design,
the planning and implementation of activities as well as the
introduction of microbial larvicide named “Bacillus
thuringiensis var. israelensis” (Bti) for larval source
management. Other innovative interventions included tackling
foci of malaria infection, evaluating and establishing
immunological aspects of chronic parasitemia.
This bottom-up approach was found useful in engaging the local community, enabling them to explore issues related to malaria in the area and suggest innovative solutions for sustainable malaria elimination gains.

http://www.democracynow.org - Dr. PaulFarmer, an infectious diseases expert and a medical anthropologist, is known worldwide for helping to bring quality healthcare to some of the most impoverished areas of the globe. More than 25 years ago, Farmer helped found the charity Partners in Health to provide free medical care in central Haiti. Today, Partners in Health teams up with local groups to treat people with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other conditions in Haiti and countries around the world. The South African Nobel Peace Laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, calls him: "One of the great advocates for the poorest and sickest of our planet."
Watch Part 1 of this interview: http://youtu.be/gcTtKvKC-5E
Farmer's previous book, "Haiti After the Earthquake," describes the massive suffering and ongoing recovery effort after the devastating January 2010 earthquake that killed hundreds of thousands of people. His latest, "To Repair the World: Paul Farmer Speaks to the Next Generation," collects a series of commencement addresses that Farmer has delivered to graduating college students going back more than a decade. Throughout, Farmer urges them to confront global problems through an approach that has long guided his work: a tireless commitment to social justice and solidarity with the world's poor. Farmer joins us to discuss why he thinks a community-based health approach can help fix the U.S. healthcare system, how Rwanda's model has drastically improved the lives of its citizens, and how to tackle the massive health problems in post-earthquake Haiti.

Today, Partners in Health teams up with local groups to treat people with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other conditions in Haiti and countries around the world.

The 2015State of the World’s ChildrenReport ranks Rwanda as the best performing coun-try in East Africa in reducing the child mortality rate. The report indicates that Rwanda has 52 deaths per 1000 births. Rwanda’s most impressive gains, however, have been in health. AIDS has been cutting life expectancies in Africa and is widespread in Rwanda. Yet life ex-pectancy at birth in Rwanda has increased from 48 to 58 — in the last 10 years. Sheila Nduhukire reports that one of Rwanda’s success stories has been the Universal Health Care for all its countrymen.

A Tourist guide to Kigali, the capital of Rwanda

www.theredquest.com
My arrival into the Rwandan capital coincided with the 18th anniversary of the Genocide. I check into the Top Tower Hotel and see the sights, including a city centre walk, a trip on the back of a motorbike taxi, a visit to the Genocide Memorial Centre, and a beer in the Milles de Collines, the hotel made famous by the movie 'Hotel Rwanda'.

In summer of 2012, Mammoth spent two weeks in Rwanda, Africa filming for the country's tourism department.

Hey gorgeous humans!
Today's video is a short vlog from my time in Rwanda. I had so much fun in Kigali, it's insane! From shooting for the Ronkos fashion line to getting stood up during my lunch date - I wouldn't change a thing!
Also visited the genocide memorial which was SUPER emotional. I decided not to vlog as there were some very graphic images from the horrible genocide period & it felt disrespectful to put such intimate & emotional aspects of people's lives personally affected by the horrible ordeal on the internet. If you are ever in Kigali, please make it a point to go visit the memorial, it's something you will not regret. The museum also survives on donations so if you're able to donate anything, no matter how little an amount, that would be AWESOME!
Do you guys wanna see more vlogs? Let me know in the comment section below!
Also don't forget to thumbs up this video & subscribe to my channel so as to get immediate updates once I upload.

Rwanda's historic health recovery

Over the last ten years, Rwanda's health system development has led to the most dramatic improvements in history. In 2013 alone, a key year for Rwanda's turnaround in the sector, the country retained 92 per cent of patients in HIV care, compared to 50 per cent in the U.S. In Uganda, progress is evident with the administration and outreach of a new drug called 'Sayana Press' that aids with family planning. CNBC Africa brings us more.

Delivering Better Health via Drone

With Zipline, all citizens can have fast and reliable access to lifesaving medical products like blood, vaccines, and essential medicines, regardless of challenging terrain and road infrastructure. In October 2016, the company launched the world's first drone delivery service in Rwanda, where the government hired them to make routine and emergency deliveries of blood to hospitals across the country.

York Circle - Social Support and Resilience in Rwanda

Global health highlights the universal challenges that span international boundaries and common, global solutions. But the global health movement also incorporates understanding local solutions. Communities develop strategies to manage specific problems in particular settings, and these local strategies can be a window into the global by revealing common problems through new lenses. This is particularly true in the area of mental health, where cultural understandings and solutions must be taken into account for interventions to be successful, but where local approaches can also provide new insights into common human experiences.
In this talk, Hynie focuses on her work with mental health in Rwanda. Rwanda is a small country in East Africa that has rebuilt community in the 22 years since t...

York Circle - Social Support and Resilience in Rwanda

Global health highlights the universal challenges that span international boundaries and common, global solutions. But the global health movement also incorporates understanding local solutions. Communities develop strategies to manage specific problems in particular settings, and these local strategies can be a window into the global by revealing common problems through new lenses. This is particularly true in the area of mental health, where cultural understandings and solutions must be taken into account for interventions to be successful, but where local approaches can also provide new insights into common human experiences.
In this talk, Hynie focuses on her work with mental health in Rwanda. Rwanda is a small country in East Africa that has rebuilt community in the 22 years since the 1994 genocide by reviving historic communal practices. These practices build mutually supportive networks that foster both connectedness and independence. She describes the “Rwandan way” of engaging these networks of community and social support to address mental health needs, how they have tried to build on these traditions to address maternal depression in Rwanda, and reflects on what Rwanda can teach the global mental health community about social support and resilience.

Developing Health Care in Rwanda | Tomorrow Today

Rwanda's healthcare system is one of the most advanced in Africa. Almost everyone in the small African state has access to medical care thanks to a network of almost 50 district hospitals and some 200 health centers. And a general health insurance scheme means that most people can afford it, too. But some of the care provided is only possible together with international partners.

Rwanda rebuilds after genocide with focus on health care

The public health transformation in Rwanda is striking for those with memories of the massacre of nearly one million people 20 years ago. International aid groups were initially wary about getting involved, but Rwanda took ownership of its own development and built a new health care system. Special correspondentFred de Sam Lazaro explores how they've worked to overcome a shortage of doctors.

Rwanda has Better Health Care than America

Ben Franklin famously said, at the end of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, that "if we don't hang together, we shall surely hang separately." That lesson of "we're all in it together" wasn't lost on Rwanda. Rwanda - a small nation in central Africa - is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped nations in the world. Nearly 60 percent of Rwandans live below the national poverty line - and in Rwanda, with an average income of just $560 per year per family - less than $2 a day - being in poverty meant bringing home and living on as little as ten cents a day. From 1990 to 1994 - the nation had a civil war - and in April of 1994 - the Rwandan Genocide began - lasting for 3 months - and taking the lives of nearly 1 million Rwandans. And yet - despite going through a civil war and a genocide - and being one of the poorest countries in the world - the tiny nation of Rwanda has something the United States doesn't - a healthcare system that works for all.
Today - the new talking point coming from the Right against Obamacare is that it raises taxes. Yet, that's exactly how Rwanda went about creating a healthcare system that works for everybody. Today - only 4% of the Rwandan population is uninsured - compared to more than 16% in the United States. So how'd Rwanda do it? In 1999 - most Rwandans never had seen a doctor and even when they were really sick, couldn't get into a hospital - primarily because costs were so high that average citizens simply couldn't afford it. Knowing they had to take action - the government's Ministry of Health started a pilot project of providing health insurance in three of the country's districts. With success in these districts - the program began to spread across the country in 2004. It ran into some kinks, though. The main one was that the government set insurance premiums at $2 dollars per year - and that was too much for for most Rwandans to afford.
So - then - the program shifted to a progressive tax system. For wealthy Rwandans - insurance premiums increased to 8 dollars a year - while premiums for the poor decreased - to zero. This is similar to what's in Obamacare - with poor and low-income Americans getting free Medicaid or tax subsidies to purchase health insurance at no expense. Today - the results of Rwanda's universal health care system are remarkable. Now - there is a massive network of community health workers across the country - in both cities and villages. 80 percent of AIDS patients in Rwanda are getting the treatments they need - which is really critical in a nation with one of the highest AIDS infection rates in all of Africa. Just ten years ago - before the insurance program was put in place - life expectancy was a meager 48 years at birth. Now - its 58. And - in the last 5 years - deaths of children under 5 have dropped by half - and malaria - a once debilitating and highly deadly disease in Rwanda - is now diagnosed quicker, which means life-saving treatment is provided faster.

New innovative interventions and evidence towards malaria
elimination in Rwanda:
Experience from MEPR project in Ruhuha sector in Bugesera
(2011-2016)
Year submission was created 2016
Abstract Summary:
200 word description of the media content. The purpose
for which it was produced (research, advocacy, education)
and how it will contribute to enhancing evidence and skills
building in health systems research.
This documentary talks about MalariaEliminationProgramme
in Ruhuha/Eastern Province of Rwanda.
In 2011, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research/
WOTRO Science for Global Development provided competitive
research funds for four years research project titled Malaria
Elimination Program for Ruhuha (MEPR). The main objective
of this project was to strengthen human capacity development
within health sector.
The programme aimed at demonstrating the multifactorial
conditions of malaria in a community, that community
participation helps health systems towards malaria elimination
and demonstrate that communities can develop sustainable
health interventions in a self-learning environment.
The programme consisted of four interrelated PhD projects,
referred to as the ‘four pillars’ addressing issues related to
behavioral sciences, biomedical sciences, entomology and
health economics.
The targeted site of this project was Ruhuha sector located at
about 42 km from Kigali, the Capital of Rwanda. It covers an
area of about 56 square kilometers with a population
estimated to be 19,606 people. The sector is divided into 5
cells and 35 villages with 5,661 households. It is drained by
four main wetlands transformed into irrigated rice fields, while
seasonal crops occupy the fifth wetland. Malaria was
previously reported as high endemic and a serious problem.
Due to the government interventions through the distribution
of Long Lasting Insecticide treated nets (LLINs) with
achievement of universal coverage (one LLINs for two
persons) and Indoor Residual Spraying with more than 97,5
% coverage for each Indoor Residual Spray (IRS) round, as
well as malaria case management, the burden of malaria was
declined drastically.
Despite use of these effective interventions the prevalence of
malaria has not reached the phase of pre-elimination as
stipulated in the National Malaria Control strategic Plan (2013-
2018).
Among potential innovative actions taken for a detailed
diagnosis of the problem and the appropriate solutions
included the usage of a bottom up approach instead of the
vertical approach deployed through an Open Space method as
well as the creation of “Community Malaria ActionTeams
(CMATs) in the framework of BehaviorChange and
Communication; vector control interventions from the design,
the planning and implementation of activities as well as the
introduction of microbial larvicide named “Bacillus
thuringiensis var. israelensis” (Bti) for larval source
management. Other innovative interventions included tackling
foci of malaria infection, evaluating and establishing
immunological aspects of chronic parasitemia.
This bottom-up approach was found useful in engaging the local community, enabling them to explore issues related to malaria in the area and suggest innovative solutions for sustainable malaria elimination gains.

Strengthening the Health System in Rwanda: Going Far and Fast

Post-genocide Rwanda is pioneering health approaches and becoming a "regional hub for excellence in medical care". The Rwandan government is working hand in hand with community health workers, partners like Management Sciences for Health (MSH), and people at all levels of the health system to improve the health of women and girls.

Hey gorgeous humans!
Today's video is a short vlog from my time in Rwanda. I had so much fun in Kigali, it's insane! From shooting for the Ronkos fashion line to getting stood up during my lunch date - I wouldn't change a thing!
Also visited the genocide memorial which was SUPER emotional. I decided not to vlog as there were some very graphic images from the horrible genocide period & it felt disrespectful to put such intimate & emotional aspects of people's lives personally affected by the horrible ordeal on the internet. If you are ever in Kigali, please make it a point to go visit the memorial, it's something you will not regret. The museum also survives on donations so if you're able to donate anything, no matter how little an amount, that would be AWESOME!
Do you guys wanna see more vlogs? Let me know in the comment section below!
Also don't forget to thumbs up this video & subscribe to my channel so as to get immediate updates once I upload.
